CommonFloor founders quit without giving notice to employees

CommonFloor founders Sumit Jain, Vikas Malpani, and Lalit Mangal resigned from their current post. It’s been a year that CommonFloor has been acquired for $200 Million by online classified portal Quickr. Nobody is sure if these three founders moved into various directions or planning to startup again.

During the merger of CommonFloor into QuickrHomes, Sumit emailed his employees that CommonFloor will work independently from Quickr and current employees will retain their designation. Post the acquisition from 1000 only hand full of CommonFloor employees are working. Their Bengaluru office was closed and the team now works out of Quickr office. The founders also quit without informing their team in advance.

These updates bring various doubts like, was this acquisition a strategy to remove competition by Quickr? Was this move a $200 Million lesson for Quickr? Did Quickr buy $200 Million tech and resource through this acquisition? Read Indian Startup News.

Startups generally celebrate every small reason, But if the reason is about a milestone achievement then it makes a big difference. This victorious path is not an easier one and we have faced and surpassed many challenges in the last few months to meet our target of half a million visitors. While our ambition is a much bigger number, the target we achieved was planned towards the end of the financial year and our team made it possible 4 months in advance.

Indeed a great effort by Shishir Kumar and the entire team and a special thanks to the avid readers of IndianCEO for following us. IndianCEO is indeed my first bet in to media business and believe me this is just the beginning. Early next year we have some great product announcements and our next milestone is not far away.
